WATERFOWL, Oct. 13.-The people of
Dakota are long suffering, and they take
all kinds of possible affronts with the
best grace in the wOr There is hardly
man in Dakota who does not think it
a regular shame" that he will not have
chance to vote for President Cleveland
next fall. But, with all this patience
our people possess, they have hardly
reached that point that they like to be
slandered, and that too publicly, as the
editor of the Pioneer Press attempts to
do i'll his effusions last week. This
editor is willing to admit that Governor
Church is all right in his position in re-
gard to the YanktOn bOodlers' matter,
and that he had perfect right to sus-
pend them, as he did, but he claims
that he was wrong in delaying their
suspension so long. o, what wit those
editors have! One couldn't pound an
idea into their heads with club as big
as all the timber there will be in Dakota
in the years to come put together.
Why, doesn't he know that as
much as the Yankton trus-
tees ought to have been dismissed
from public service, the governor had
no special authority given him by law
for such a proceeding until they had
case exactly. 1t was not the governors
fault; it was the codes fault. But this
was not the point that / wished to
allude to in connection with the Press
editor, who complained that, while the
governor was all right in suspending
the YanktOn trustees, he did not take
this action soon enough. And for what
reason do you suppose? For the reason
that the 1872, 500 improvements cannot be
made at YanktOn this year, the weather
in Dakota during the winter time pre-
venting any kind of building. Here is
where the SANDER comes in-that every
man, woman and child in Dakota, who
knows anything about Dakota, will re-
sent. We will bet ten to one that this
piece of SANDER on DakOta's fair repu-
tatlOn was written by carpet-bagger-
and one lately imported, too. The eli
mate is such in Dakota that building is
carried on
UNINTERRUPTEDLY.T THE YEAR ROUND,
except in the Northern parts, where
cold and snow sometimes interfere
slightly for few months. But at Yank-
ton, in the extreme Southern part of
the territory, there is no excuse for
such remarks. l know, from personal
OUSSl NdGlOil, tildl from w dlGIlOWu SOulfl
that all kinds of building go on during
the winter, and that it is very rarely
indeed that work of this kind is Seri-
ously hindered by the cold weather. At
the BrookingS Agricultural college, and
at the two territorial institutions at
Sioux Falls, / am informed that there
are Improvements under way that will
not be completed until next summer,
and that work will be done on them all
winter. So much for this uncalled for
and useless SANDER on Dakota's climate
Outside of the weather question
which the Press editor seems to con-
slider by far the most important, and in
fact the only question-by converse
Yates, one of the latest ap-
pointed trustees of the Yankton
asylum. ] am led to believe that1 the
improvements will be made at once.
Gov. Church says that he will approve
the plans and send them to the new
board without delay. Col. Yale says,
that from conversations had with Gov.
Church, he understands that it is his
wish that the improvement be made as
soon as possible, and Mr.. Yale further
states that if this is the case, as men,
Der of the board. he will use every effort
to have the improvements begun at an
to completion as fast as can be. Mr..
Yale lives at Canton, is good and sue
ceSSful business man, and is familiar
with affairs at YanktOn, living so near.
From his qualifications, and with the
able board that Inns been named, there
is no reason why the Yankton insane
asylum improvements will not be begun
this fall and completed. The editor of
the Pioneer Press's Dakota department
to the contrary Notwithstanding,
"a CHURCH ORGAN"
And l noticed, too, that the Pioneer
Press has begun to worry about the
kota affairs, especially as handled by
its ''staff contributor" Its complaint
that the GLOBE is a Church organ.
What nonsense! When the Press be-
gins to worry about the management of
the GLOBE it always begins to get itself
into hot water. This is what Pierce
tried to do before he went East, but he
found it a boomerang that he wanted to
drop quicker than hot potato. l can
assure his successors that they will
make nothing by it. The GLOBE is
simply the peoples organ, i'll other
words newspaper. 1t belongs to no
grand, Catholic opinions broad enough
to take in everybody. 1t believes i'll
honest, economical, Democratic gov
eminent. The GLOBE is willing to
praise Gov. Church when he does right,
just as it is any other man, and will be
just as ready to critic him as any other
man, the GLOBES special staff contrib
utor standing on the same platform, too.
The cry that the GLOBE is the organ of
Gov. Church, or any other man under
the sun, is played out. 1t is chestnut.
PIERCE AS A LEGAL. LIGHT.
Editor Pierce, in his leading editorial
column last week, makes remarkable
statement, that we shall have to ask
that gentleman to explain. He says that
already, under Auditor Wards famous
order to assessors to assess railroad
property not used for railroad pur-
poses, injunction cases have been
brought to restrain the sale of such
property for delinquent taxes. Now
this seems little strange when the
facts in the case are taken into cOnSid-
Grafton. Property being sold for deln-
quent taxes that was only asses sed last
spring, and on which taxes are not due
until the first of November! There is
no possible way in which the taxes can
be paid under the territorial statutes
until one year from this fall. Yet Gov.
Pierce comes out in leading editorial
and states that not only are these taxes
| delinquent, but that the sale of the
property for them is enjoined. Where
| does the learned legal gentleman get his
| knowledge? Gov. Pierce--he who has
